Memory leaks are among the most insidious issues plaguing software applications, often resulting in degraded performance, unexpected crashes, and increased operational costs. A memory leak occurs when an application consumes more memory than necessary and fails to release it, causing the memory usage to grow over time. This persistent memory consumption can eventually lead to exhaustion, negatively affecting the application’s reliability and user experience.
